Venue Selection

[Tony Bell]

Is it possible to prevent end users adding venues and forcing them to select from a dropdown list (or similar forced selection)?

I have over 3,000 registered users and 2,200 venues. Our wonderful users seem to take great delight in adding venue names (no address) as they creat events. In one instance I had a user add the same venue name eight times, once for each event. Needless to say this is creating an admin nightmare editing duplicated venues and more events to the ‘real’ venues.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for getting in otuch and sorry to hear about this venue havoc 🙁

Hopefully it’s possible to prevent users from creating venues. First you’ll need to set a default venue for the form to show, you can do this in WP-Admin > Events > Community > Form Defaults > Default venue for submitted events.

After that you can add this CSS snippet to hide the Use new venue option in the dropdown. You can add this snippet your theme functions.php file or via Simple Custom CSS plugin:


#saved_venue_chosen .chosen-results li:first-child {
display: none;
}


Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico
